Risto is the reason Skunk is still trying to make Junior-level passes in the NHL and it's why those passes end up as turnovers.
- Michael Pachla

Skunk is the cerebral all star, consistent point producer. Risto is the rugged, point producing d man. We still are bad. Maybe both aren’t good enough?

your claim changes with every post you make though

toss the flip flops in the closet

No it doesnt you guys just love to change the topic up...... They don't work pay dougie 9 million. You'll be crying about it in a couple years


Just like Skinner and Eichel and everyone else that plays here that makes more than the ELC

Dumb, selfish penalty in the offensive zone on a pp.

Might have cost them the cup. 😉

Was that skunk's trip of a Boston player just :30 into a powerplay?

hamilton at 9 mil and asplund and ruotsalainen the 2022 roster

or risto, girgens and olofsson

Sign me up. Dougie is a difference maker

It would be nice if the team had more guys to answer the bell. Bashing Tage for doing so is dumb, at best.
- TheSabresTaco

I don't understand that, but oh well I'm a dummy

Can you explain what you mean by this?
- IonSabres

Risto's fault. Him and Girgensons

Over the course of a season, Sam helps much more than he hurts. The opposite is true of Ristolainen. Keep players that help you, shed players that hurt you.

The simplicity is there.

I can't get boss to answer my question, so I'll ask you: If the Sabres expose Asplund, Miller, Girgensons and Risto, who would they take?

Assuming no incentive for the sake of this discussion

Risto

jumbo joe .253 goals per game

Agreed. Upgrade every piece of the roster if you can. I don't care about the name on the back at all. I think Sam is a piece worth building around, at the right price of course

Risto

I can't imagine why we would expose Risto. We would instead trade him for an asset and expose someone other than Borgen, Joker and Dahlin.

I always liked thornton

I think he got a bum rap


twice

Okposo to LTIR.
Miller gone
Risto gone

See if you can find a spot for Skinner (Seattle)

Hell hold a mil to 1.5 of cap for Skinner.

Free up 20 mil.

All I got is we should play 6 d on either veteran min deals or ELC. All the money in forwards and goalies.

Which playoff season should we use as an example?

Risto

I think they take Asplund, followed by Girgensons. Why would they take a $5.4m pending UFA?

Agree. It was a hypothetical.
